<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Applications, Accessories, Character Map.</p>
<p>Google for alt-gr keys, eg for me typing AltGr + ; then e produces ê and AltGr + ' then e makes ê, and so on.</p>
<p>Regards, Dave</p>

As I'm starting to use more and more Ubuntu, I wonder: how to easily make<br>
typographers quotes, ellipses and en and em dashes. Can anyone recommend me<br>
a script or shortcut?<br>
<br>
On the Mac there are handy keystrokes:<br>

<br>
I use them all the time, in the web browser, in the terminal--it just feels<br>
wrong to have 'dumb' (<- like these) quotes and ... in stead of a proper<br>
ellips character...<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
<br>
